a journey through Lent
for the next 40 days i’m fasting from my tumblr, twitter and facebook. it’s not penance, it’s worship. what things distract you from times of introspection and meditation? i have more than just this, and i’m also abstaining from other creature comforts.
this is a season of pondering what Jesus has done for us. i hope you take part in some way.
see y’all on the resurrection day.
thomas.

"The hunger to be culturally engaged and cool is the driving force behind evangelical calls for stewardship — whether it might be stewardship of high priced produce or the weather we seem to be having. Stewardship is cool, unless of course, you try to be a steward on behalf of unborn children or biblical monogamy."
— Douglas Wilson (via sds)

How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America
newsweek:
givemesomethingtoread:
The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.
This, from the Atlantic, is a really nice piece.
I read this a few days ago - it’s worth the read.
